GLOBE OR SHADE HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 575,063, dated January12, 1897.

Application filed May 11, 1895.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ELLIOTT P. GLEASON, a citizen of the United States,residing in New York, in the county of New York and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Globe or ShadeHolders, of which the following is so full, clear, and exact adescription as will enable those skilled in the art to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure1 is a top View of my improved holder. Fig. l is a section of Fig. 1 onthe line a: 00. Fig. 2 shows a split in the end of the open ring. Fig. 3shows the ring with split end open. Fig. 4 shows the screw for operatingthe open ring and a removable collar on the screw. Fig. 5 shows a collarsolid on the screw.

The object of my invention is to produce a holder which shall beadjustable to sockets of varying sizes in such a manner that the globeor shade will be held firmly in position with respect to the light.

Another object of my invention is to construct a globe or shade holderwith a ring which shall clamp the socket from opposite sides with thesame pressure and one which shall snugly fit the socket throughout itsentire circumference without leaving any space between the ring on theholder and the socket.

Another object of my invention is to provide an adjusting device by themanipulation of which both portions of the severed ring are moved towardthe socket simultaneously or away from the socket simultaneously as the,adjusting device is operated in one direction or the other.

In the accompanying drawings, A designates the main ring or seat for theglobe or shade. B designates an adjustable open ring having projectingfree ends through which extends a screw 0, the outer end of which isscrewthreaded to correspond with screwthreads in the bent portion D ofthe adjustable ring. The screw is provided with a collar E, which, asshown in Fig. 5, is screwed onto the screw, and which, as shown in Fig.6, is formed integral with the screw. When it is formed integral withthe screw, as shown in Fig. 6, the end F of the ring should be split,

necessity of putting on the removable collar.

In Fig. 1 I have shown this open ring as extending through the main bodyportion of the globe or shade holder and having a T- shaped projectionextending down through a lateral slot in the main portion of the ringwhich holds the globe or shade.

It is obvious that the exact details and form of the elements shown anddescribed need not be strictly adhered to, as they may be Varied at willwithout departing from the spirit of my invent-ion, which consists inthe construction and combination of parts,as will be hereinafterclaimed.

The arms d, which connect the globe-holder with the clamping-ring forthe socket, are to be one or more in number, and are to be secured inany manner desirable.

Having described the objects, uses, and advantages of my invention, whatI believe to be new, and what Iwish to secure by Letters Patent of theUnited States, is

The main ring for holding the globe provided with a slot; in combinationwith an open ring secured to the globe-holding ring by means of arm orarms such as (1, said open ring having a screw-threaded hole near one ofits free ends and provided with a second hole in its opposite free endand an opening in the latter free end to admit a screw having a rigidcollar, said open ring having a projection extending into theabove-mentioned slot, said projection consisting of one portion of theopen ring bent over and upon itself, the screw-threaded hole extendingthrough the two thicknesses and the bent portion extending at an angleto the radius of the open ring, substantially as described.

I11 testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
